Man accused of using cat food as a cover to swipe computers

After Walmart security began to notice that laptop computers were disappearing from the shelves they decided to review the Spring Hill store's surveillance video, according to a news release from the Hernando County Sheriff's Office.

After scanning the video, security noticed a certain pattern in the video: A man, later identified as Jason Alonzo Brady, would enter the store, go to the electronics department and place a computer in the shopping cart before heading over to the pet food isle to select a very large bag of cat food, placing it directly on top of the computer, concealing it completely, the release stated.

Brady would then reportedly leave the store without paying for the computer... or the cat food.

The 35-year-old Brooksville man visited the story twice on April 30th, stealing a $498 Hewlett Packard computer and then returning to swipe a $1,267 Acer computer -- plus the cat food, deputies said.

On May 3rd, Brady made two more trips to the store where he is accused of stealing a $448 Gateway and then a Hewlett Packard computer valued at $798...plus the cat food.

This is Brady's sixth booking into the Hernando County Jail, inmate records show.
